In 1878 Massachusetts enacted the first probation statute, and Boston hired its first probation officer. In 1880 the Massachusetts legislature approved the first statewide hiring of probation officers. By 1925 all states had laws governing probation for juveniles, and by 1939 approximately 39 states were maintaining laws on probation for adults. By 1967 adult probation was allowed by statute in all states.
Landlords can&rsquo;t force a tenant to get contents insurance, but it&rsquo;s probably in their best interest to do so. Contents insurance will replace all your stuff in the case of a fire or break-in, but it also protects you from liability if something happens in your unit. (TARA WALTON / TORONTO STAR FILE PHOTO)
